Stuff, Things, and In Between

mere_vanillaStuff and Things going on in my life right now include:
a) Slowly but surely, I'm making headway on my next amigurumi project (a Tachikoma from the Ghost in the Shell anime series from the early- to mid-00s. A content note, though--they're based on spiders, according to their Wikipedia page, so a head's up for that silhouette/imagery, should you go looking up the characters).
Husband took a liking to them, however a lot of the scale models and kits are a bit much for our budget. Caron Simply Soft, though, is a fair compromise--especially since the colors are versatile enough that I can use the remaining yarn for other projects. I've been following a pattern from a wordpress blog, and so far it's going well!
b) More blu-rays of... not necessarily who I want to say is my favorite actor, but an actor whose work I appreciate and enjoy, continue to be released. I couldn't find the DVDs at any of the local used media stores, and I politely refuse to use Amazon until absolutely necessary (for health-related equipment, for example), so this is a very nice development.
c) Getting a small garden ready. This year we're planting more sunflowers, some rainbow carrots, green onions/scallions, and some purple green beans. I'm hoping that I can start some cabbage later in the year, as well.
Other than that, mostly it is raining with some pleasant days between. The cats continue to get up on the kitchen table, and meow for wet food ten minutes too early.
